Macaroni and Cheese
2 cups elbow macaroni
1 pkg Cracker Barrel extra sharp cheese, cubed
4 tbsp butter or margarine
4 tbsp flour
2 cups milk
1. Preheat oven to 350. In saucepan, boil elbow macaroni according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a medium saucepan. Turn off heat and add flour slowly, stirring as you add it (should make a paste).
3. Turn heat back on, to medium. Add milk slowly; stir with whisk, until there are no lumps. This will thicken as it heats.
4. Once thickened, add cheese. Stir until melted.
5. Place pasta in a glass casserole dish and add cheese sauce. Stir until pasta is coated. Cover. Bake in oven for 1 hour.
Serve 6-8.

How did this turn out? I'm doing mac and cheese for a work babyshower but need a good recipe.
Christy: This is T's family's recipe, so it's a non-negotiable in our house. It's a little more "dry" than I prefer (I usually like a little more creamy) but mac & cheese preferences seem to run the gamut, in my experience. If you like yours less creamy, you may like this one.
